“There is a wonderful confidence in submitting this collection of small jewel-like pieces. The level of refinement is superb, removing all distraction from the playful interaction of light, shadow, colour and geometry that draws you in to its intimate space.” Judge, Brian Parkes.

The exhibition of finalists’ works is showing at JamFactory, Adelaide until 20 September 2020 and the Australian Design Centre, Sydney from 9 October – 18 November 2020.
